The SharePoint Site User Directory web part displays a list of all users and groups that have the appropriate permissions to access a SharePoint site. A full suite of display options allow users to view user accounts and groups alphabetically, by Organization Unit, by site permissions, or by recent activity in SharePoint (activity within a five-minute timeframe). Selecting a user account or group opens AD profile information, allowing users to quickly and easily find contact info, check to see if a particular account has been active in SharePoint, and enables users to send an email notification to that account. Users can also search for user accounts or groups by account.

IT administrators also have complete control of how accounts are displayed, including options to add, remove, or rename AD account properties as well as configure and organize AD properties in tabs above user profile information. Moreover, all profiles are displayed in a print friendly window, allowing for effortless printing of profile and contact information.

The SharePoint Site User Directory Web Part allows users to display all users in a SharePoint environment. Users can be displayed according to online status, their membership in Organizational Units(OU), alphabetically, or by site. The online status can be either displayed as the SharePoint default online status (based on MSN), or be based on when the user last logged in to SharePoint. Also, Site User directory gives the option to search for users, message other users, and to print user information. A major difference between the SharePoint default Site User web part and the SharePoint Site User Directory is its ability to not only display SharePoint groups and AD groups, but also all members of SharePoint and AD groups in SharePoint.

To use it, the web part has to be added to the site it should be displayed on.

Then the Site User Directory properties should be configured. The web part allows for defining an Organizational Unit, and whether or not the user directory should be displayed as an Organizational Unit in the Organization Tab.

After this, the administrator has to select, what AD information should be displayed, and how. Site User Directory gives the option to change the order of AD properties displayed, to remove or add items, as well as remove, add and rename tabs. For example, if no picture of users should be displayed, the administrator can just remove this AD property form the Site User Directory. If on the other hand, more information like a fax number, or customized AD properties should be added, this can also be easily modified.

Click the name of an item once to rename an AD property item.

To remove an item, click on the cross on the right side of the item.

To restore an item, click the bent arrow.

To move an item up or down, select it first by clicking it once. After this, the item can be moved up and down by clicking the arrows on top of the AD properties.

Moving, renaming, and removing tabs works in a similar way. To add a new tab, click on the Add Tab button in the lower right corner. A new tab will appear at the bottom of the AD properties, named "New Tab".

To add new AD properties, click the Add Properties button. After that, enter the Property Name and the Display Name in the Site User Directory.

After setting up the web part, click the OK button to confirm the changes.

To display user information, click on the user name in the directory. Enter any name or letter to search for specific users, and confirm the search by pressing Enter or clicking the Search icon right of the Search field These will be displayed in a Search Result list.

The user information will be displayed according to the preferences set in the settings. To print the user information click the Print icon in the upper right corner.

To display the users’ status on the web part, select which status type you want to display, SharePoint login status or MSN status. If you don’t want to display the status, select the Do not display online status.

Site Collection License

Farm License

Purchase FAQ:

• What is the difference between a Site Collection License and a Farm License, and which type of license should I choose?
  • A Site Collection License is applied to a specific Site Collection and refers the number of end-users on that ONE Site Collection. A Farm License refers the amount of end-users the LARGEST Site Collection within a particular Farm.
  • A Site Collection License is better if you only have one Site Collection and your Site Collection ID is unlikely to change frequently (your Site Collection ID will change if you reinstall SharePoint or transplant your SharePoint data from one server to another). If your Site Collection ID changes, contact our sales team for assistance.
  • A Farm License is better if you would like to install a SharePointBoost product on multiple Site Collections or if your Site Collection ID frequently changes.
  • If you are still unsure as to which license type is best for you, please email sales@sharepointboost.com for assistance.
• What are "end-users" and how do they affect my license size? How do I find how many end-users I have on my Site Collection / Farm?
  • Our software uses the standard established method by Microsoft to determine the amount of end-users in a Site Collection or Farm. An end-user is defined as any user who has been authorized to access any site in your Site Collection or Farm. If they have access to your site, they are counted as an end-user.
  • Before purchasing a license, please think carefully about how many people will need to access your site (meaning any part of it) and delete any users that no longer require access in SharePoint. To find the number of end-users you have in a Site Collection or Farm, please check the license management page (this will appear after you install the trial version of our software on your SharePoint servers), or download and run the free End User Viewer Tool available here: http://www.sharepointboost.com/end-user-viewer-tool.html. The End User Viewer Tool can also be used to delete inactive user accounts.
  • Our licenses increase in increments of 100 users. This means that if there are 155 people who need to access your site, you will need to purchase a 200 end-user license.
• What will happen if I add another server to a Site Collection / Farm? How will this affect my license?
  • If you add new servers to an already existing Site Collection or Farm, your license will still be valid as long as the number of end-users does not exceed the number allowed by your license (e.g. if you purchase a 200 end-user Site Collection License, your license will always be valid for 200 or fewer users regardless of the number of servers).
• If the current end-user number exceeds the end-user number allowed by my Site Collection License / Farm License, what will happen?
  • If the current end-user amount exceeds the amount of end-users allowed by your license, the original functions and settings of the software will NOT be influenced until you change them (e.g. additions, deletions, modifications, etc.) At that time, you need to upgrade your license by contacting sales@sharepointboost.com. Note that upgrades will incur additional fees equal to the price difference between the old and new licenses. For example, if you purchased a 200 end-user license for $399 and you want to upgrade to a 300 end-user license with a list price of $449, you only need to pay for the difference in prices (in this case $50).
• Which payment methods does SharePointBoost allow?
  • PayPal:
  • The preferred method of payment is PayPal. You can either purchase SharePointBoost products via PayPal account or via credit card. If you would like to purchase a Farm license or a Site Collection license where the total number of end-users is greater than 900, we will generate a PayPal purchase link and send it to you in an email (paying via purchase link does not require that you have a PayPal account).
  • Secure Purchase Link:
  • If purchasing our products through PayPal is not possible for you, then you may contact sales@sharepointboost.com to get a secure purchase link generated and then emailed to you. Here you may pay with a credit card online, by phone, or by fax.
  • Bank Transfer:
  • If purchasing our products through PayPal or via a secure purchase link is not possible for you, then you may contact us to get bank information for a wire transfer. Note that you are responsible for any bank transfer fees.
  • If you do not specify one currency from USD, HKD, JPY, or EUR, we will take USD as the default payment currency.
  • SHAREPOINTBOOST DOES NOT ACCEPT CORPORATE OR PERSONAL CHECKS. PLEASE USE PAYPAL, SECURE PURCHASE LINK OR BANK TRANSFER TO PURCHASE OUR PRODUCTS.
• How can I find my Site Collection ID or Farm ID?
  • To find your Site Collection ID or Farm ID, please check the license management page (this will be accessible via a license management link that will appear after you install the trial version of our software on your SharePoint servers), or download and install the free License Management Center Application here: http://www.sharepointboost.com/licensecenter.html.
• What is SharePointBoost’s refund policy?
  • A request for a refund will only be granted if it is received BEFORE the license code has been sent.
• Does SharePointBoost offer a discount for non-profit organizations, government agencies, or educational institutions?
  • If you can provide proof that your organization is a registered non-profit, you will be eligible for a 15% discount. Contact your government to request a certificate verifying your not-for-profit status if you have not already done so.
